“Of course, in my position, you always want to score. In the last few months, it was not easy and I didn’t have many chances. Today, I got some chances, I think I can score one or two more but of course I’m happy and we’re happy with the result.

“I think in the second-half, I had one or two more chances where I could have scored more goals, but it wasn’t to be and on Tuesday, we move on.
